Welding of tungsten wire

Are you interested in tungsten wire used in welding technologies from the supplier company AvecGlob? Here you will find interesting information on this topic /

General information

Welding of metals using a tungsten non-consumable electrode in an inert gas environment (TIG method) is a popular type of welding using tungsten wire electrodes for joining different metals. A tungsten electrode is a critical component of the process, since it provides the current necessary for a stable burning of the arc discharge.

Different types and sizes of electrodes are used for different types of welds and materials, and welders develop preferences based on welding style and design. Some types of electrodes work better with alternating current (AC) rather than direct current (DC). Electrodes made of tungsten welding wire are supplied without a tip.

Supplier — AvecGlob Company — offers at a reasonable price from the manufacturer in a wide range of wires of various diameters, which is obtained from tungsten or its alloys, and is used in welding. The supplier guarantees the timely delivery of products to any address specified by the consumer.

Varieties of tungsten welding wire

Blue lanthanum-containing electrodes made of tungsten welding wire are popular because of the relative ease of exciting the arc and lower current. They work exceptionally well in AC and DC applications and are a popular general electrode. Blue electrodes are effective for welding aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, nickel alloys, copper alloys, titanium alloys, alloy steels and non-corrosive steels.

Torated (red), calculated for use with direct current. Extremely durable and very durable, these electrodes are the primary in DC welding applications. These electrodes are best suited for copper alloys, nickel alloys, titanium alloys and non-corrosive steels.

A wire with rare-earth elements (violet) is suitable for both AC and DC. It is an excellent substitute for red toritized electrode type and has the same high-performance properties. Such a welding tungsten wire is best used for welding aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, titanium alloys, nickel alloys, copper alloys, low-alloy steels and unalloyed alloys, stainless steels.

Gray electrodes are popular due to their exceptional ease of arc excitation with lower current forces and their exceptional performance with respect to DC welding applications. They are best suited for titanium alloys, copper alloys, magnesium alloys, aluminum alloys, nickel alloys, corrosion steels and low-alloy steels.

0.8% zirconium (white) tungsten electrodes withstand higher current levels and work well with power supplies such as a transformer and inverter, making them an excellent alternative to green tungsten electrodes for welding magnesium and aluminum alloys.

A pure tungsten electrode (green) for alternating current contains at least 99.5% tungsten and provides all properties associated with tungsten — excellent conductivity, durability and performance. Green electrodes are ideal for welding products containing magnesium alloys or aluminum alloys.

1.5% — lanthanum-containing tungsten electrodes of golden color contain less lanthanum than their blue analogs and are used in DC applications. They are best suited for welded joints with titanium alloys, copper-containing alloys, nickel alloys and corrosion-resistant steel.

Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers to purchase various profiles of wire, which is made of tungsten and tungsten alloys, and is used for the production of welding electrodes. Products can be bought at a price formed on the basis of European and world standards of production. Implementation is possible in bulk and retail, for regular customers, a flexible system of discounts operates.
